*“A Circle may also move its own Defined Roles or Policies into a Sub-Circle, or move any from within the Sub-Circle into itself.”* Does this mean I can create a role in the super circle and push it into the sub-circle? ​​ OR does this rule only apply for the moment when a sub-circle is created? ...

Project updates of non-core circle members
02/09/2017
Hi there! Let me explain my tension: I am LeadLink of a circle with core and non-core circle members. All of them work on projects, but non-core circle members are not present during Tacticals, so we don't get updates on their projects. I would like to get project updates without needing to make ...
Adding Policies to roles (sections 1.4 and 2.1.3)
03/05/2017
There's been some confusion about policies. Governance was used to create a policy on a role held by another circle member. Question is: Is another circle member allowed to use governance to create a policy on a role's domain? The role holder doesn't agree with the policy and wasn't there during ...

Hi community, I often see examples of Circle policies that require you to ask approval from a specific role if you want to impact X. > Example: " Any role who wants to make changes to training slides, must first ask approval from Training Design role " I am always doubtful of policies like the...
How to accept tasks for absent members during Tactical
02/26/2019
Hi guys, While practicing Tactical meetings a question popped up. Imagine you're at Triage and someone wants to create a NA for a circle member who is not present at the meeting. What is the correct process to use? When assigning a Next Action to someone, the facilitator always asks that someone ...

Side note is that in our case the person proposing to add the policy on this role is also holding the secretary role, which means their interpretation trumps another's.
Policies affecting "all functions and activities within the circle"
02/08/2019
Such a relatable tension! At Springest I have also had a similar tension. Some 'Rules' (like how to request or process vacation days) are important to apply for every employee, but how do you process this into Holacracy?The way I solved my tension at the time was by proposing a 'Springeteer' role...
